Day 2 - 21 Day Challenge - I love serendipity

Serendipity - when someone finds something they weren't expecting to find. (At least that's what wikipedia says it means - and we all know that's the source of truth!). It may not be the best definition of the word but it sums up what I found yesterday.

After blogging about starting my first 21 day challenge to blog everyday I made a cup of tea and went to peruse some blog posts in reader.

Mostly though it's people who I perceive to be living life in the moment. Embracing the now. Loving and living in the moment they are in. This is something I struggle to do sometimes, and I love the inspiration that comes from those who seemingly do it effortlessly.

TGIF & cheers everyone.

I guess that's what happens when your work gets busy as the scope and impact grows. (A great problem to have). That said I do need to balance this out with a little time for me.

2016 is another year where I'm trying to make a commitment to spending time on things I enjoy - one of those being baking, and trying new recipes. With that in mind it's time for a 2016 baking challenge. The rules are pretty simple. There's a theme each month, and you need to bake something loosely associated with that theme. It helps if you have someone else committed to doing the challenge with you - in this case I have a colleague at work.

This month is Australiana. And it's a very loose interpretation of Australian baking. I wanted to be more experimental and not do something so cliched like - lamingt…
